chicamamey@aol.com DAVE DIAZ DEBUTS WITH SALSA REMAKE OF LIONEL RICHIE?S ?TRULY? Miami, Florida. August 21, 2001. Newcomer Dave Diaz released his first single, ?Truly,? a remake of the classic R&B hit by Lionel Richie. The new release includes a Salsa version of ?Truly,? and three exciting re-mixes by popular DJ Felix Sama. ?Lionel Richie is one of my idols,? says Diaz, ?and this song is a classic that can stand up to a Salsa arrangement as well as a re-mix and still hold its own.? Diaz, who was born in New Jersey and later relocated to Miami, enjoyed a rich and diverse exposure to music like many bicultural youth in the U.S. The influence of the music of his parent?s native Cuba, along with the rich R&B of the ?80s and a powerful influence of popular singers such as Elvis Presley, to whom Dave attributes his drive to sing, are evident is the dynamic and different styles presented on this single CD. Also present in these carefully crafted and well thought remakes is the influence of Pop superstars such as Prince and a strong Hip-Hop thread as well. The various versions and arrangements which Dave Diaz offers in the CD, ?Truly? span the music markets, from tropical all the way to Hip-Hop, reaching a broad and multigenerational audience. The CD offers a Spanish-language Salsa version, ?De?veras?, produced by Landy Castro, leader of his own band, Landy Castro y Su Orquesta La Llave, who also produced the English-language version. The re-mixes on tracks 1 and 5 were produced by well-known DJ Felix Sama, and on track 3 Dave collaborates with Sama to add his own flavor to the re-mix. ?Truly? is the first release on independent record label, DIGG Music. The single is available in most independent record stores in the South Florida area.
